that’s pretty funny, but I’d like to point out that in the story itself, they link to their corrections page. And on the correction page, they link to the story. If those links are permanent, I’ve got to applaud Salon.
98% of the time the revisions are made as stealthy as possible, such that if I run across something noteworthy, I’ll make a snapshot or a mirror of the page right away in case they change it. I learned that from the WaPo and their deliberately deceptive coverage of the Heller case.
Corrections like this ought to be the gold standard for online media. I see it more often in bloggers, however, than in the MSM.

They’ve been doing the hyperlink thing since 2009, as the 2008 page is just text.
